I was 16 and was working as a CIT at a summer camp in New Hampshire when I saw the Northern Lights.

I recall seeing what appeared to be thousands of ghosts flying in succession quickly across the dark night sky.

After a while the ghosts subsided and a ring of light shown straight over head with radiating rays of light beaming out from the inner ring. It could have been a ship of light waiting to beam everyone up to the next dimension.

What came next were beatiful patches of flourecent colors including green and pink and yellow appearing on and off in different parts of the sky over the lake and reflecting off the water. The colors started off faintly and grew brighter until they all eventually began to fade away.

I remember going to bed wondering if the world would still be here when I woke up.
